Stormwater Basins Cause 'Awful' Stink for Christchurch suburb
Residents in a south Christchurch suburb are putting up with an unpleasant stink caused by recent heavy rain that battered the city.
The Christchurch City Council has received nine complaints since Wednesday about a smell in the Cracroft area.
The council’s head of three waters and waste, Helen Beaumont, said the smell was coming from stormwater basins in Cracroft, between Long Acre Drive and McVicar Drive. The rain, along with the draining of the stormwater basins, has stirred up “organic material” in the basins
